sunshine.

Dax_glisten

I took this photo the other day after I had fed him food. I love how the sun coming through the window is just glistening  off his hair. he looks so big sitting in his new high chair. He is getting so much more fun everyday. It's crazy how fast he is growing up. He turned 6 months last week. I can't believe he is already half a year. he is rolling over all over the place. he wont stay still for even 2 seconds. I am really having to keep my eye on him. love this little man so much.

why is it...

that I can't seem to get myself to blog more regularly?

I have been pretty busy lately, but I can't be busier than a lot of people I know that seem to have no problem blogging on a very regular basis. It's funny, cause I enjoy reading other peoples blogs, I even check some of them everyday. yet, I still find it hard to do my own. The other thing is I would really like to have some sort of hard copy of my blog, so that i can keep it, you know to remember what actually happens, like a journal. Isn't that what this is suppose to be, a journal on the web? I think so.

so this is what I do about it. I blog more. I find out how to get a hard copy of my blog, maybe like every six months or so someone could just send me a book in the mail of my blog. so I don't even have to think about it, it would just be delivered. Like it's part of the cost of the blog or something. roll it right in to the cost & send it to me. perfect plan. ok, now... someone do it. please.

other stuff:

dax is now sporting a helmet. he got it 2 weeks ago, actually almost 3 weeks now. man, how time flies. he has to wear it for a total of 8 to 10 weeks. it is to correct his flatness. the cool drawing on it, my awesome, artist/illustrator/painter brother-in-law who lives next door to us did it with a fine tip sharpie pen. so cool, dude.

esty is open!

ok, well it has taken me a lot longer than I thought it would take to get my etsy shop up & running.

but... now it is! yeah. finally. I am planning (I promise) to add more stuff to it soon! I really am going to. I love the whole concept of how etsy works & all the awesome handmade stuff you can find on there. lately I have been playing around with so many different mediums & different crafts that I think it's the best place to share what I have been making.

I hope you stop by often, I put a link to the shop on the left, so check it out! good stuff.

here's a little something that can be found there:

Sicktired

this has been us the last week...
sick.
& sick.
this is the first time dax has been sick. it's so sad.

he has had:
a temperature
an ear infection
a very very stuff nose
a tight chest
a raspy cry.

it's so sad.

plus the mama (me) hasn't been feeling super 100% either.
to say the least, we have been sick.
but...

i think we are on the mend.

that is a good feeling.

i had to take this photo a few days ago, he was so tired, he tuckered out right in his walker. so cute, but so sick & tired.

good intentions.

I always seem to have good intentions, but never seem to follow through on things I say. It's become a flaw of mine. I hate it. I want to be better, I want to try harder. ok, I want to & I will. so much has happened in the last week or so. i went to san diego for the birth of my sister's baby, a little boy named warner. he is so cute & doing great! i am so excited that dax is going to have a cousin that is really close to his age, only 4 months apart. while i was over in SD i got to hang out with my good friend em, which is always so much fun. i love hanging out with em, especially going to her house & being so inspired by all her cool stuff. just makes me want to create something. so, i did. when i got home i went to the fabric store the very next day & this is what i made:

Starblanket

i love how it turned out. its a throw blanket to lay out on the floor or to take to the park, its heavier & bigger than a cuddly blanket, but it is so soft, made out of knit fabric. it's making me want to create more stuff. & that always feels good.

as far as the working out:
i sucked when i was gone & didnt work out once. but ever since i have been home, 4 days now, i have worked out everyday. so thats good. always gotta get back on the wagon.
